I feel like I'm in crazytown when I express distress about taxation - literally people forcibly taking away your property - and ppl act like I'm the crazy one. Sure, you could argue that this forcible theft is worth it, and I'll respect that, but it's still not crazy to be upset.

So you'd rather privatize public infrastructure and pay a street toll every time you walk outside your apartment? Do you think that would actually work out if everyone pays the same and either poor people cannot leave the house anymore or nobody pays enough to maintain it?

I think you're failing to model actual incentives in this world. 1. likely building this stuff would be cheaper without government being influenced by corporate money 2. paying a street toll every time is inefficient/there's other methods 3. poor people still make roads elsewhere

1. is a matter of debate,also did you really just argue for "instead of corporate money influencing a non-corporate government to some degree,corporations should just take over completely"? 2. still means "the maintainer of the street will have to be paid,probably by you"?
